at home, and figure it is all good, I can use my hand, well be careful. Doh. To be honest, I kinda hate farting around with the hood (it makes the controls hard to access amongst other things) and figured a 150 isn't that wide...
I'm open to lightweight and user friendly alternatives. Sinar F2, if it makes any difference.
A clip wide enough to attach to the top of the front standard, a 12" piece of armature wire, and a 4x5 darkslide. If you want fancy, get a Flarebuster.

To shade the lens? The dark slide. Now that you've photographed your fingers, you'll never make that mistake again. I haven't. Which means I did, once, with the dark slide.

The problem in this case (and why I should have know better) is that the sun is quite close to being in-frame. I expect I might have just got a picture of a darkslide if I had used that... though, to think of it, if it *just* shaded, and the sun is out of frame, the slide should be out of frame... but still, it would be nice to have something that worked on the GG (the flare was visible on the GG for this shot and shading had a noticeable effect on the GG) and didn't require me exposing my film for all the world to see.
But I expect I will be using the slide at the minimum, probably less chance of error. And maybe using that hood more...
That flarebuster looks pretty useful, actually. I guess it is the armature wire + darkslide solution.
you can fix that in photocrop.

I like the Wiggly Worm, but does anyone know who carries them in the US?
Hmm, it looks like the plamp might be a good option here though it looks a bit larger and clunkier .This thread also mentions Office Depot sells something similar.
If you want be very perfect and with a bit of black gaffer tape and carton you can also make a almost round sun shadow which is much better then just a flat board!
Ore if you take a small box and take the floor out of it you get it in rectangular shape!
The only limit is your own creativity;--))))
